Ripem, don't want to confuse things but the steps you describe are quite different that what I did just two years ago. As opposed to getting "permission" letters from the AD to talk to each school, we obtained a "release" letter from my son's school. The release was what the NCAA required. This allowed my son to talk with any school upon providing them the release. After exploring his options both academically and baseball wise, he chose not to transfer and things worked out better than he could have expected. I would recommend you check the process one more time because getting a "permission" letter was not what the NCAA rules described and it did not need to be school specific.
